ME - Do Basilisks differentiate? I don't remember anything about 
wizards being immune, from FBaWtFT. The only victim in CoS who wasn't 
identified as a Mudblood was the Ravenclaw girl, but I don't think if 
a pureblood looked at the eyes, they would have been safe - I don't 
think it says that anywhere. 
 The only one who might have been safe was Tom, who of course wasn't 
alive, wasn't a ghost, so presumably wasn't affected. That rather 
begs the question of what happened when the Chamber was opened the 
last time - Harry never tries talking to the Basilisk in Parseltongue.
 I wonder if Tom originally commanded the Basilisk not to look at him 
and so loosed it on Myrtle?
